| - Guys, I finally made it to M&P!! After a couple false starts, I finally got my act together, made a reservation well in advance, and brought a fellow aspiring foodie friend who was visiting town. We split the bone marrow appetizer, which is three huge femurs and an assortment of toppings, served with toasted bread. Fantastic. I chose the special salad, which consisted of roasted Brussels sprouts with candied walnuts and a brisket vinaigrette dressing, and then talked myself out of the Wagyu flatiron (next visit) and into the pappardelle pasta dish that comes in a ragu sauce that was made by angels. I opted not to get a cocktail and paired it all with a nice dry cider instead. My friend got the pastrami crusted duck, and she delighted in it. We both took ours home for a second meal. We were well pleased. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere is very much in keeping with the design aesthetic of this restaurant group--a bit eclectic, rustic, and modern hipster. Well worth the visit, and I look forward to a return.
